Description

Radio frequency front end, chip and equipment
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the field of radio frequency, in particular to a radio frequency front end, a chip and equipment.
Background
A mobile phone generally includes a radio frequency circuit (or referred to as a radio frequency chip). For example, as shown in fig. 1, the present rf circuit may include an rf transceiver module, an rf front end, and an antenna. When the mobile phone needs to send signals for communication, the baseband chip (or called baseband subsystem) can send baseband signals to the radio frequency transceiver module of the radio frequency circuit, the radio frequency transceiver module can convert the baseband signals into radio frequency signals and send the radio frequency signals to the radio frequency front end, and the radio frequency front end can finally transmit the radio frequency signals by using the antenna. When the mobile phone receives signals, the antenna of the radio frequency circuit can send the radio frequency signals to the radio frequency front end after receiving the radio frequency signals, the radio frequency front end can send the radio frequency signals received by the antenna to the radio frequency transceiver module, and the radio frequency transceiver module can send the received radio frequency signals to the baseband chip for processing after converting the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals. Thereby realizing the long-distance mobile communication of the mobile phone.
At present, a radio frequency transceiver module of a mobile phone can only transmit radio frequency signals of a single frequency band once through a radio frequency front end, and cannot simultaneously transmit radio frequency signals of two different frequency bands. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the rf front end may include a Power Amplifier (PA), a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and a duplexer (including an output signal terminal and an input signal terminal). The radio frequency transceiver module can send a radio frequency signal of a certain frequency band to a power amplifier in the radio frequency front end, the radio frequency signal is amplified by the power amplifier and then sent to an antenna through an output signal end of the duplexer, and finally the radio frequency signal is sent out by the antenna. After the antenna receives the radio-frequency signals of the corresponding frequency band, the received radio-frequency signals can be sent to the low-noise amplifier through the input signal end of the duplexer, and finally the received radio-frequency signals are sent to the radio-frequency receiving and sending module through the low-noise amplifier to be received. Generally, the frequency band of the rf signal received and transmitted by the rf transceiver module corresponds to the operating frequency band of the duplexer of the rf front end, so that the rf transceiver module can only transmit the rf signal of a single frequency band at a time through the current rf front end. However, with the continuous development of mobile communication networks, the mobile communication networks have been developed to the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication networks. Therefore, many mobile phones can support 5G and beyond mobile communication networks so that the mobile phones can support connection with various generations of mobile communication networks. When the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network, the frequency band of the radio frequency signal generally adopts the frequency band 28A or the frequency band 20. When the mobile phone is connected to the 4G mobile communication network, the frequency band of the radio frequency signal generally adopts the frequency band 20 or the frequency band 8. Therefore, when the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network and the 4G mobile communication network simultaneously, there exists a case where a radio frequency signal (for example, frequency band 20) in a certain frequency band is connected to the 5G mobile communication network, and a radio frequency signal (for example, frequency band 8) in another frequency band is connected to the 4G mobile communication network, that is, radio frequency signals in different frequency bands are respectively connected to the two mobile communication networks simultaneously. At this time, the mobile phone cannot meet the requirement that the radio frequency signals of different frequency bands are respectively connected with different mobile communication networks at the same time.

When the rf transceiver module transmits a first output signal, the output signal terminal of the first duplexer may receive the first output signal and transmit the first output signal to the first antenna through the antenna terminal of the first duplexer, so that the first antenna transmits the first output signal. Accordingly, when the first antenna receives the first input signal, the first antenna may send the first input signal to the antenna terminal of the first duplexer, so that the first duplexer may send the first input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. Similarly, when the rf transceiver module transmits the second output signal, the output signal terminal of the second duplexer may receive the second output signal and transmit the second output signal to the first antenna through the antenna terminal of the second duplexer, so that the first antenna transmits the second output signal.

Accordingly, when the second antenna receives the third input signal, the second antenna may transmit the third input signal to the antenna terminal of the third duplexer, so that the third duplexer may transmit the third input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. When the rf transceiver module transmits the fourth output signal, the output signal terminal of the fourth duplexer may receive the fourth output signal and transmit the fourth output signal to the second antenna through the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer, so that the second antenna transmits the fourth output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna receives the fourth input signal, the second antenna may send the fourth input signal to the antenna end of the fourth duplexer, so that the fourth duplexer may send the fourth input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal end. Therefore, the radio frequency transceiver module can utilize the radio frequency front end to simultaneously transmit and receive radio frequency signals through the first antenna and the second antenna, and further the radio frequency transceiver module can utilize the radio frequency front end to simultaneously transmit and receive radio frequency signals of two different frequency bands through the first antenna and the second antenna so as to meet the requirement of simultaneous connection with different mobile communication networks.

A mobile phone generally includes a radio frequency circuit (or referred to as a radio frequency chip). The radio frequency circuit can convert baseband signals of the baseband chip (or called baseband subsystem) into radio frequency signals and transmit the radio frequency signals through the antenna, and the radio frequency circuit can convert the radio frequency signals received by the antenna into baseband signals and transmit the baseband signals to the baseband chip for processing, so that the long-distance mobile communication of the mobile phone is realized. For example, as shown in fig. 1, a current wireless communication system may include a baseband chip and radio frequency circuits, wherein the radio frequency circuits may include a radio frequency transceiver module, a radio frequency front end, and an antenna. When the mobile phone needs to send signals for communication, the baseband chip (or called baseband subsystem) can send baseband signals to the radio frequency transceiver module of the radio frequency circuit, the radio frequency transceiver module can convert the baseband signals into radio frequency signals and send the radio frequency signals to the radio frequency front end, and the radio frequency front end can finally transmit the radio frequency signals by using the antenna. When the mobile phone receives signals, the antenna of the radio frequency circuit can send the radio frequency signals to the radio frequency front end after receiving the radio frequency signals, the radio frequency front end can send the radio frequency signals received by the antenna to the radio frequency transceiver module, and the radio frequency transceiver module can send the received radio frequency signals to the baseband chip for processing after converting the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals.
Currently, the frequency band of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the mobile phone generally includes a frequency band 28A (i.e., the frequency range of the transmitted signal is 703MHz-733MHz, and the frequency range of the received signal is 758MHz-788MHz), a frequency band 20 (i.e., the frequency range of the transmitted signal is 832MHz-862MHz, and the frequency range of the received signal is 791MHz-821MHz), and a frequency band 8 (i.e., the frequency range of the transmitted signal is 880MHz-915MHz, and the frequency range of the received signal is 925MHz-960 MHz). For example, the mobile phone may be connected to a 5G mobile communication network through a radio frequency signal with a frequency band of 28A or 20 a, and connected to a 4G mobile communication network through a radio frequency signal with a frequency band of 20 or 8A. Generally, a mobile phone can only transmit a radio frequency signal of a single frequency band at a time through a radio frequency circuit, and cannot simultaneously transmit two or more radio frequency signals of different frequency bands. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the rf circuit may include an rf transceiver module, an rf front end and an antenna, wherein the rf front end may include a Power Amplifier (PA), a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and a duplexer (including an output signal terminal and an input signal terminal). The radio frequency transceiver module can send a radio frequency signal of a certain frequency band to a power amplifier in the radio frequency front end, the radio frequency signal is amplified by the power amplifier and then sent to an antenna through an output signal end of the duplexer, and finally the radio frequency signal is sent out by the antenna. After the antenna receives the radio-frequency signals of the corresponding frequency band, the received radio-frequency signals can be sent to the low-noise amplifier through the input signal end of the duplexer, and finally the received radio-frequency signals are sent to the radio-frequency receiving and sending module through the low-noise amplifier to be received. Generally, the frequency band of the rf signal received and transmitted by the rf transceiver module corresponds to the operating frequency band of the duplexer of the rf front end, so that the rf transceiver module can only transmit the rf signal of a single frequency band at a time through the current rf front end.
Therefore, when the mobile phone is simultaneously connected to the 4G mobile communication network and the 5G mobile communication network, the mobile phone can be simultaneously connected to the two mobile communication networks only through the radio frequency signals of the common frequency band of the 4G mobile communication network and the 5G mobile communication network. For example, the mobile phone may be simultaneously connected to the 5G mobile communication network and the 4G mobile communication network through the radio frequency signal with the frequency band of 20. However, the mobile phone cannot be connected to the 5G mobile communication network by using the radio frequency signal of a certain frequency band, and is connected to the 4G mobile communication network by using the radio frequency signal of another frequency band, that is, the mobile phone is simultaneously connected to two mobile communication networks by using the radio frequency signals of different frequency bands. For example, the handset cannot simultaneously transmit two radio frequency signals in the frequency bands 28A and 20 to connect to the 5G mobile communication network and the 4G mobile communication network, respectively. It is impossible to simultaneously transmit two rf signals of the frequency band 28A and the frequency band 8 to connect to the 5G mobile communication network and the 4G mobile communication network, respectively. Of course, it is impossible to simultaneously transmit rf signals in the frequency bands 20 and 8 for connecting to the 5G mobile communication network and the 4G mobile communication network, respectively.

When the rf front end transmits the first output signal, the output signal 2011 of the first duplexer may receive the first output signal and transmit the first output signal to the first antenna 211 through the antenna of the first duplexer 201, so that the first antenna 211 transmits the first output signal. Accordingly, when the first antenna 211 receives the first input signal, the first antenna 211 may transmit the first input signal to the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201, so that the first duplexer 201 may transmit the first input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. Similarly, when the rf transceiver module transmits a second output signal, the output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer may receive the second output signal and transmit the second output signal to the first antenna 211 through the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202, so that the first antenna 211 transmits the second output signal. Accordingly, when the first antenna 211 receives the second input signal, the first antenna 211 may transmit the second input signal to the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202, so that the second duplexer 202 may transmit the second input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. When the rf transceiver module transmits the third output signal, the output signal terminal 2031 of the third duplexer can receive the third output signal and transmit the third output signal to the second antenna 212 through the antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203, so that the second antenna 212 transmits the third output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna 212 receives the third input signal, the second antenna 212 may transmit the third input signal to the antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203, so that the third duplexer 203 may transmit the third input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. When the rf transceiver module transmits the fourth output signal, the output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer can receive the fourth output signal and transmit the fourth output signal to the second antenna 212 through the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the second antenna 212 transmits the fourth output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna 212 receives the fourth input signal, the second antenna 212 may transmit the fourth input signal to the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the fourth duplexer 204 may transmit the fourth input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. Therefore, the rf transceiver module can simultaneously transmit and receive rf signals through the first antenna 211 and the second antenna 212 by using the rf front end, and further the rf transceiver module can simultaneously transmit and receive rf signals of two different frequency bands through the first antenna 211 and the second antenna 212 by using the rf front end to simultaneously connect to different mobile communication networks.
For example, the frequency bands of the first output signal and the first input signal are both the frequency band 28A; the frequency bands of the second output signal and the second input signal are both frequency bands 20; the frequency bands of the third output signal and the third input signal are both 20; the frequency bands of the fourth output signal and the fourth input signal are both frequency bands 8, and the electronic device is a mobile phone as an example.
When the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network through the frequency band 28A and connected to the 4G mobile communication network through the frequency band 20, the rf transceiver module may transmit and receive the first output signal and the first input signal, and the third output signal and the third input signal.

Accordingly, when the first antenna 211 receives the first input signal, the first antenna 211 may transmit the first input signal to the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201, so that the first duplexer 201 may transmit the first input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. The output signal terminal 2031 of the third duplexer receives the third output signal sent by the rf transceiver module and sends the third output signal to the second antenna 212 through the antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203, so that the second antenna 212 transmits the third output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna 212 receives the third input signal, the second antenna 212 may transmit the third input signal to the antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203, so that the third duplexer 203 may transmit the third input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. That is, when the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network through the frequency band 28A and connected to the 4G mobile communication network through the frequency band 20, the mobile phone may receive and transmit the radio frequency signal with the frequency band 28A through the first antenna 211 to be connected to the 5G mobile communication network, and simultaneously receive and transmit the radio frequency signal with the frequency band 20 through the second antenna 212 to be connected to the 4G mobile communication network.

At this time, the rf front end may receive the first output signal sent by the rf transceiver module through the output signal terminal 2011 of the first duplexer and send the first output signal to the first antenna 211 through the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201, so that the first antenna 211 transmits the first output signal. Accordingly, when the first antenna 211 receives the first input signal, the first antenna 211 may transmit the first input signal to the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201, so that the first duplexer 201 may transmit the first input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. The output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer receives the fourth output signal sent by the rf transceiver module and sends the fourth output signal to the second antenna 212 through the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the second antenna 212 transmits the fourth output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna 212 receives the fourth input signal, the second antenna 212 may transmit the fourth input signal to the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the fourth duplexer 204 may transmit the fourth input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. That is, when the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network through the frequency band 28A and connected to the 4G mobile communication network through the frequency band 8, the mobile phone may receive and transmit the radio frequency signal of the frequency band 28A through the first antenna 211 to be connected to the 5G mobile communication network, and simultaneously receive and transmit the radio frequency signal of the frequency band 8 through the second antenna 212 to be connected to the 4G mobile communication network.
When the mobile phone is connected with the 5G mobile communication network through the frequency band 20 and connected with the 4G mobile communication network through the frequency band 8, the radio frequency transceiver module can send and receive a second output signal and a second input signal, and a fourth output signal and a fourth input signal. At this time, the rf front end may receive the second output signal sent by the rf transceiver module through the output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer and send the second output signal to the first antenna 211 through the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202, so that the first antenna 211 transmits the second output signal. Accordingly, when the first antenna 211 receives the second input signal, the first antenna 211 may transmit the second input signal to the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202, so that the second duplexer 202 may transmit the second input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. The output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer receives the fourth output signal sent by the rf transceiver module and sends the fourth output signal to the second antenna 212 through the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the second antenna 212 transmits the fourth output signal. Accordingly, when the second antenna 212 receives the fourth input signal, the second antenna 212 may transmit the fourth input signal to the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204, so that the fourth duplexer 204 may transmit the fourth input signal to the rf transceiver module through the input signal terminal. That is, when the mobile phone is connected to the 5G mobile communication network through the frequency band 20 and connected to the 4G mobile communication network through the frequency band 8, the mobile phone may receive and transmit the radio frequency signal with the frequency band 20 through the first antenna 211 to be connected to the 5G mobile communication network, and simultaneously receive and transmit the radio frequency signal with the frequency band 8 through the second antenna 212 to be connected to the 4G mobile communication network.
Optionally, in order to enable the rf transceiver module to implement a diversity technique according to the rf front end to compensate for the loss occurring when a single signal generates information, i.e. the rf transceiver module can receive diversity signals through the rf front end, as shown in fig. 5, the rf front end may further include a diversity module 220 and a third antenna 213. The diversity module 220 is connected to the third antenna 213.
When the third antenna 213 receives the diversity signal, the third antenna 213 may transmit the diversity signal to the diversity module 220, and then the diversity module 220 may transmit the diversity signal to the radio frequency transceiver module.
The diversity signals generally correspond to the first input signal, the second input signal, the third input signal, and the fourth input signal, that is, the first input signal, the second input signal, the third input signal, and the fourth input signal are respectively the main set signals, and the main set signals are generally in the same frequency band as the corresponding diversity signals. Therefore, according to the main set signal received by the rf front end, the rf front end may receive the corresponding diversity signal through the diversity module 220 and the third antenna 213, that is, when the first antenna 211 receives the main set signal of a certain frequency band, the third antenna 213 receives the corresponding diversity signal, and when the second antenna 212 receives the main set signal of a certain frequency band, the third antenna 213 receives the corresponding diversity signal, so that the diversity signal received by the third antenna 213 may include one or more signals (e.g., including the first diversity signal, the second diversity signal, the third diversity signal, etc.).
Illustratively, the frequency bands of the first output signal and the first input signal are both frequency bands 28A; the frequency bands of the second output signal and the second input signal are both frequency bands 20; the frequency bands of the third output signal and the third input signal are both 20; the frequency bands of the fourth output signal and the fourth input signal are both frequency bands 8, and the electronic device is a mobile phone as an example. The diversity signals may comprise a first diversity signal in the frequency band 28A corresponding to the first input signal, a second diversity signal in the frequency band 20 corresponding to the second input signal and the third input signal, and a third diversity signal in the frequency band 8 corresponding to the fourth input signal. In connection with the aforementioned example where the first antenna 211 receives the first input signal while the second antenna 212 receives the third input signal, the third antenna 213 may receive a first diversity signal corresponding to the first input signal and a second diversity signal corresponding to the third input signal; in connection with the aforementioned example where the first antenna 211 receives the first input signal while the second antenna 212 receives the fourth input signal, the third antenna 213 may receive a first diversity signal corresponding to the first input signal and a third diversity signal corresponding to the fourth input signal; in connection with the aforementioned example in which the first antenna 211 receives the second input signal while the second antenna 212 receives the fourth input signal, the third antenna 213 may receive a second diversity signal corresponding to the second input signal and a third diversity signal corresponding to the fourth input signal.
Optionally, the diversity module 220 may include filters (for example, band pass filters) corresponding to the diversity signals of different frequency bands, so that the diversity signals of corresponding frequency bands in the signals received by the third antenna 213 can be transmitted to the radio frequency transceiver module through the corresponding filters, that is, different filters corresponding to the frequency ranges of the pass bands may be set according to the different receivable frequency bands of the diversity signals.
For example, the diversity signals described above in connection with the above include an example of a first diversity signal of band 28A, a second diversity signal of band 20, and a third diversity signal of band 8. Then, as shown in fig. 6, the diversity module 220 may include a first filter 221 corresponding to the first diversity signal, a second filter 222 corresponding to the second diversity signal, and a third filter 223 corresponding to the third diversity signal. Wherein the passband frequency range of the first filter 221 comprises 758MHz-788MHz, the passband frequency range of the second filter 222 comprises 791MHz-821MHz, and the passband frequency range of the third filter 223 comprises 925MHz-960 MHz.
When the third antenna 213 receives a first diversity signal corresponding to the first input signal and a second diversity signal corresponding to the third input signal, the first diversity signal may be finally directed to the rf transceiver module through the first filter 221, and the second diversity signal may be finally directed to the rf transceiver module through the second filter 222. When the third antenna 213 receives the first diversity signal corresponding to the first input signal and the third diversity signal corresponding to the fourth input signal, the first diversity signal may be finally transmitted to the rf transceiver module through the first filter 221, and the third diversity signal may be finally transmitted to the rf transceiver module through the third filter 223. When the third antenna 213 receives the second diversity signal corresponding to the second input signal and the third diversity signal corresponding to the fourth input signal, the second diversity signal may be finally passed to the rf transceiver module through the second filter 222, and the third diversity signal may be finally passed to the rf transceiver module through the third filter 223.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the rf front end may further include a first switch 231 and a second switch 232, an output signal terminal 2011 of the first duplexer and an output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer are respectively connected to the first switch 231, and an antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201 and an antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202 are respectively connected to the first antenna 211 through the second switch 232. The first switch 231 may be used to control the output signal terminal 2011 of the first duplexer to receive the first output signal, or the output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer to receive the second output signal. That is, the first switch 231 may be connected to the rf transceiver module to control the on/off of the output signal terminal 2011 of the first duplexer and the output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer, respectively, with the rf transceiver module. The second switch 232 may be used to control the first antenna 211 to transmit the first output signal or the first antenna 211 to transmit the second output signal. That is, the second switch 232 can control the on/off of the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201 and the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202 with the first antenna 211, respectively.
When the rf transceiver module transmits a first output signal and receives a first input signal, the first switch 231 may control the output signal terminal 2011 of the first duplexer to communicate with the rf transceiver module, and the second switch 232 may control the antenna terminal of the first duplexer 201 to communicate with the first antenna 211. When the rf transceiver module transmits a second output signal and receives a second input signal, the first switch 231 may control the output signal terminal 2021 of the second duplexer to communicate with the rf transceiver module, and the second switch 232 may control the antenna terminal of the second duplexer 202 to communicate with the first antenna 211. Therefore, when the first antenna 211 is required to receive the first input signal or the second input signal, interference signals of other frequency bands are received by the radio frequency transceiver module, and interference is caused to the signals received by the radio frequency transceiver module.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the rf front end may further include a third switch 233, a fourth switch 234, and a fifth switch 235. An output signal terminal 2031 of the third duplexer and an output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer are respectively connected to the third switch 233, an antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203 and an antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204 are respectively connected to the fifth switch 235 through the fourth switch 234, and the fifth switch 235 is further respectively connected to the second antenna 212, the third antenna 213 and the diversity module 220. The third switch 233 may be used to control the output signal terminal 2031 of the third duplexer to receive the third output signal, or the output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer to receive the fourth output signal. That is, the third switch 233 may be connected to the rf transceiver module to control the on/off of the output signal terminal 2031 of the third duplexer and the output signal terminal 2041 of the fourth duplexer, respectively. The fourth switch 234 and the fifth switch 235 may be used to control the second antenna 212 to transmit the third output signal or the second antenna 212 to transmit the fourth output signal. That is, the fourth switch 234 and the fifth switch 235 can jointly control the switching of the antenna terminal of the third duplexer 203 and the antenna terminal of the fourth duplexer 204 to the second antenna 212, respectively.
